[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,    Conditions were not good on either band.  QSB was moderate, signals were weak, and the noise levels were high.  Between that, and the holiday, I got about as many emails as I did check ins :) While it is growing drier here in the Northwest Roy said his vertical was performing

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Fan Question

Hi Jim! Hope you are enjoying Idaho. I hear it is a great place to be! The fan in the KPA500 goes to level 3 at 60 degrees. It goes to full-on at 80 degrees. The levels are: level 1 - 50C degrees level 2 - 55C degrees level 3 - 60C degrees level 4 - 65C degrees level 5 - 70C degrees level 6 -

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Fan Question

My K3 into the KPA500 for over ten years . . . . The FAN REV is 1.54 (this might be software)The resting temp is 27C. When on RTTY I set the FAN to 4. Otherwise 2 for most of the time. Knowing temperature is the killer of electronics (short of lightning) I try to keep things cool. For 10

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Fan Question

My setup is like yours and the response is exactly the same. Starting use on fan speed 4 delays the temp rise for a short time. Mine has run many many hours at temps up to 70 with no problems. Hottest on 20m and requires the most drive on that band also. On Sun, May 14, 2023, at 10:23

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Fan Question

Your resting temperature at 42C seems TOO warm to me?   My KPA resting temp runs about the same as ambient temperature of shack, 25-30C.   With 25-30W drive from TS-890,my KPA seldom reaches 3rd stage 60 degrees.   Have you checked SWR or cable between 890 and KPA?   73, Mike AC5P On

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Fan Question

Yes, but the amp is not seeing the mis-match, correct? The tuner is taking care of that mis-match and I would have thought that the amp should be perfectly happy… Yes? > On May 14, 2023, at 11:35 AM, Dr. William J. Schmidt > wrote: > > You are trying to transform a mis-match and that burns

[Elecraft] KPA500 Fan Question

Got a question (problem?) regarding the fan in my KPA500. I'm driving the amp at 29 watts from a Kenwood TS-890S. The amp is connected to a KAT500, which in turn is hooked to a 30 foot tall Zerofive flagpole vertical. The tuner has provided me with a nice 1.2:1 SWR, as displayed on the amp. The
